Design, Synthesis And Characterization Of Oriented Glyco-Affinity Macroligands For Glyco-Capturing, Glycomics And Glycoproteomics Applications, Srinivas Chalagalla

ETD Archive

Cell surface carbohydrates existing as parts of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and other conjugates present the first information about cell to the outside world and are intimately involved in various biological events such as intercellular communication, and molecular and cellular targeting. However, mechanisms of most processes at the molecular level are still unclear. Therefore, it is very important to develop carbohydrate-specific binding molecules for rapid, efficient, sensitive purification and accurate analysis of complex carbohydrate structures as well as their functions. Furthermore, carbohydrate-specific binding molecules can be expected to be used in medical diagnostic applications for carbohydrate biomarkers. In this thesis study, oriented …

Towards The Synthesis Of 1,4-Dibenzyl-1,4,7-Triazacyclononane-7-Monoacetate For A Potential Mimic Of Oxalate Degrading Enzymes, Alexandria Liang

Theses & ETDs

Oxalate oxidase and oxalate decarboxylase are enzymes responsible for the degradation of oxalate. These enzymes are present in plants, bacteria and fungi. Consumption of oxalate, by both people and livestock, can result in cardiological and kidney disease. This is because neither contains oxalate degrading enzymes. Small molecule mimics of oxalate oxidase and oxalate decarboxylase have the potential to function as a tool for understanding the activity of the enzymes, testing for oxalate toxicity, probing the relationship between structure and function, and much more. An oxalate oxidase or oxalate decarboxylase mimic requires the synthesis of a ligand for complexation with a …

Complexation Of Pb(Ii) By Chloride Ions In Aqueous Solutions, Robert H. Byrne, Wensheng Yao, Yanxin Luo, Frank J. Millero

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Lead chloride formation constants at 25°C were derived from analysis of previous spectrophotometrically generated observations of lead speciation in a variety of aqueous solutions (HClO₄–HCl and NaCl–NaClO₄ mixtures, and solutions of MgCl₂ and CaCl₂). Specific interaction theory analysis of these formation constants produced coherent estimates of (a) PbCl⁺, PbCl₂⁰, and PbCl ⁻₃ formation constants at zero ionic strength, and (b) well-defined depictions of the dependence of these formation constants on ionic strength. Accompanying examination of a recent IUPAC critical assessment of lead formation constants, in conjunction with the …

What Are The Causes, Consequences And Correctives Of Fish Contamination In The Detroit River Aoc That Cause Health Consumption Advisories? (Final Report, Michigan Sea Grant Michu-T-10-001), Donna R. Kashian, Ken G. Drouillard, D. Haffner, Ann E. Krause, Z Liu, Larissa Sano

Environmental Science and Geology Faculty Research Publications

Using an Integrated Assessment (IA) framework, we consolidated and utilized existing data from the Detroit River to develop models that both identify possible drivers of elevated fish contaminant body burdens, and to facilitate a more risk-based approach of tissue trigger-levels for consumption advisories. This integrated assessment approach was particularly useful for consumption advisories as it provided the ability to integrate and organize complex data in a manner that can help inform management decisions. In addition, the IA framework explicitly fosters collaboration and participation of multiple interested groups. We have capitalized on this component of IAs, by seeking the active participation …

Enzymology And Medicinal Chemistry Of N5-Carboxyaminoimidazole Ribonucleotide Synthetase : A Novel Antibacterial Target, Hanumantharao Paritala

Wayne State University Dissertations

N5-Carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide synthetase (N5-CAIR synthetase), a key enzyme in microbial de novo purine biosynthesis, catalyzes the conversion of aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR) to N5-CAIR. To date, this enzyme has been observed only in microorganisms, and thus, it represents an ideal target for antimicrobial drug development. Here we report structural and functional studies on the Aspergillus clavatus N5-CAIR synthetase and identification of inhibitors for the enzyme. In collaboration with Dr. Hazel Holden of the University of Wisconsin, the three-dimensional structure of Aspergillus clavatus N5-CAIR synthetase was solved in the presence of either Mg2ATP or MgADP and AIR. These structures, determined to 2.1 …

Observations Of Elevated Formaldehyde Over A Forest Canopy Suggest Missing Sources From Rapid Oxidation Of Arboreal Hydrocarbons, Nicole Bouvier-Brown

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Works

To better understand the processing of biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) in the pine forests of the US Sierra Nevada, we measured HCHO at Blodgett Research Station using Quantum Cascade Laser Spectroscopy (QCLS) during the Biosphere Effects on Aerosols and Photochemistry Experiment (BEARPEX) of late summer 2007. Four days of the experiment exhibited particularly copious HCHO, with midday peaks between 15–20 ppbv, while the other days developed delayed maxima between 8–14 ppbv in the early evening. From the expansive photochemical data set, we attempt to explain the observed HCHO concentrations by quantifying the various known photochemical production and loss terms in its …

Open For Learning: The Cms And The Open Learning Network, Jon Mott, David Wiley

Faculty Publications

The course management system (CMS) reinforces the status quo and hinders substantial teaching and learning innovation in higher education. It does so by imposing artificial time limits on learner access to course content and other learners, privileging the role of the instructor at the expense of the learner, and limiting the power of the network effect in the learning process. The open learning network (OLN)—a hybrid of the CMS and the personal learning environment (PLE)—is proposed as an alternative learning technology environment with the potential to leverage the affordances of the Web to dramatically improve learning.
